How could Mother Lu not glare at him? The Lu family had always been thorough in their work and had good etiquette, so good that it was hard to find any thorns in the eggs.
Moreover, this was the first time that the uncles came to visit, so Mother Lu felt even more impolite.
Li Jiadong pursed his lips and said, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? After Qingcheng and Xiaoshi got married, we are one family. Why are we talking about two different things?"
Li Jiabing also said: "Yes, don't be so polite. We are already very happy to see our niece getting married."
Mother Lu regained some smile on her face and exchanged greetings with her uncles-in-law.
She said, "Uncle in law, we plan to give 9,999 yuan as the betrothal gift. I think it's for good luck and I hope the two children will live long and well."
"As you know, our Lu family only has this one child, so we have no control over the settlement expenses. We can spend as much as we want on the two children as long as they live comfortably."
The uncles looked at each other. This was enough to show how much the Lu family valued their niece.
Li Jiadong paused and said, "Mother-in-law, we have no objection to your arrangement. It is very thoughtful. As for the dowry, we brothers have discussed it and we want a good start, 8,888 yuan."
Gu Qingcheng had just taken a bite of steak when he heard this astronomical figure. The piece of steak in his mouth suddenly became stuck and he couldn't swallow it.
Cough cough cough.
Lu Shiyan quickly handed over the cup of water: "Drink some, why did you suddenly choke?"
Gu Qingcheng took a sip and said quickly, "Uncle, I sold my job and house before, and I have some money, which is enough for the dowry."
"You kid," Li Jiahuan frowned slightly, "You should keep your money for yourself. This dowry money was given willingly by our uncles."
Li Jiabing: "Yes, Qingcheng, we only have your mother as our sister, and you as our niece. As an uncle, I am willing to give my niece a dowry."
Gu Qingcheng still felt that it was too much.
But she couldn't get over her uncles, who were very good at talking and they shut her up in no time.
Several aunts also expressed their desire to help Gu Qingcheng. In fact, the sisters-in-law felt very aggrieved, as it seemed that they were destined to give birth to sons. One family gave birth to two, and three families gave birth to six. These six children were all sons!
Not a single daughter.
If you catch a niece like this, you must treat her with great care.
Although the Lu family had purchased the four major items, they were paid by the husband's family, which was different from that of the wife's family.
The purpose of the uncles and aunts doing this is very simple, they just want to tell the Lu family that although your Lu family is powerful, the Li family also attaches great importance to this marriage, and the dowry is the confidence they give to Gu Qingcheng.
If their niece was wronged in their home, they would not give in.
Mother Lu and others also understood it very well.
Especially Lu Shiyan, who was particularly active in this regard.
In front of several elders, he solemnly promised: "Uncle, don't worry, Qingcheng will marry me in the future. I will love her and protect her for the rest of my life, just as I am loyal to my country and to her."
Several other elders of the Lu family also expressed their sincerity. The elders of the Li family took a fancy to the family style of the Lu family. Children who grow up in an environment with good family style will not be bad in character and morality.
They think long-term and will not be overwhelmed by the huge gift from the Lu family.
They have all seen the world.
Li Jiadong felt even more touched when he saw how much the Lu family loved his niece.
He held the wine glass and said happily: "Come on, let's eat, today is a happy day."
…
The meal ended with laughter. Father Lu, Lu Shiyan, and several uncles drank a lot and were all drunk.
Mr. Lu and Mr. Li were having a great conversation. If it weren't for Mrs. Li stopping them, they would probably have talked all night long.
In the end, they were all confused and started to call each other brothers.
The uncles hadn't seen their niece for ten years, and when they thought of their long-deceased sister, they felt a pain in their hearts. They were all bigwigs in their respective industries, but when they got drunk, they actually started to cry and hold their heads in their hands.
This made the aunts feel extremely embarrassed and they wished they could cut off all ties with these people.
Lu Shiyan was fine, looking quite normal, sitting in his seat, staring at Gu Qingcheng with fascination.
Gu Qingcheng sat beside him, holding his hand and whispering, "You said that my uncles obviously have a very average alcohol tolerance, but they still insist on making themselves drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Lu Shiyan didn't answer, his dark eyes still staring at her affectionately.
"Time Banquet?"
Gu Qingcheng waved his hand in front of the man.
Lu Shiyan's eyes didn't even move, and in the next second, he fell on Gu Qingcheng's shoulder in a daze.
The strong smell of alcohol almost made Gu Qingcheng faint.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
So the normality just now was all an act?
Mother Lu felt helpless because she still had to take her grandparents to look at houses, so she asked the family driver to make sure to send the Lu family home safely.
The driver, Uncle Wang, is her own person, so she feels very confident in him.
Everyone worked together to lift the drunks into the car.
Mother Lu was sweating profusely. "Aunts and aunts, the house is still some distance away. A car will come to pick us up later. Please take good care of my uncle and aunt."
Several aunts nodded repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, dear relatives, I really made a fool of myself for you."
"It's okay, we're all family, and we're all happy to eat together."
